OMG I was killed by a chicken leg!! LOL that was fun. Great take on the theme!! If you have time to polish graphics a little and develop other hazards / mechanics, you've got a very nice game here! Multiplayer would be hilarious!
Solid entry! :)

Very original mechanic! And it fits the theme perfectly as well. If you could work on randomizing the obstacles better this could become a very interesting game!

Interesting game mechanics! Making the obstacles spawn better should definitely make the game better! The mechanics of the crowd movement is really interesting, good job! Waiting for updates on this to test new versions :)

I found out that if you place everybody in the top or the bottom of the screen you're basically safe from everything, so you should work a bit on the placement/spawn of the obstacles. Also, some of the obstacles felt like they were power-ups or positive things in some way (spoiler: they weren't, at all). 

Still, I enjoyed the overall style and I really like how the crowd is handled, nice job!

Thanks for feedback. :) We are aware that obstacles are not perfectly spawned right now. We've just randomized position.y of spawner, so it should be handled more complex now. We will for sure update sprites of the obstacles, so user would know which will have positive effect and which are just killing the crowd  :D

I love the way you used the theme! I thought the chicken was a point booster not an obstacle, but oh well. If you ever continue development I would suggest more control over how the crowd spreads itself to make it more interesting.

Developer

Thanks for your comment! :) We'll for sure update the powerup system and change the sprites of negative obstacles in further development. Right now it's the killer chicken :D

Nice idea, although there could be more variety with the obstacles and a bit more sensible placement of them. Also the splitting is useless in my opinion, never worked in my favor. The score doesn't reset after playing again! :D Cool game, nonetheless!

Developer

Hello, thanks a lot for your feedback! We would like to continue development of our game, so probably we'll add some features with the obstacles and proper use of power ups. Score was our last thing to do before submitting project, so I guess we rushed a bit. But, we didn't notice it during tests, so we're very grateful for that!
